Gingerbread Man Early Cirriculum Inspiration Guide

WHAT DOES THIS PACK COVER?

This pack is themed around the traditional tale of ‘The Gingerbread Man’. It

would be useful to have access to a copy (or several varying copies) of the

story to read to your child, however if you do not have access to a version of

the book you can use the flashcards in this pack to tell the story. This pack

contains learning resources to develop young children’s skills in phonics,

mathematics and motor skills.

NOTE TO PARENTS / TEACHERS

This pack contains a range of different resources designed to be used in

multiple flexible ways. Our curriculum are rich in open ended resources as

we believe in tailoring each activity / lesson to a child’s individual

development. This guide contains some SUGGESTIONS on how you could

use the resources included in this pack. This is by no means an exhaustive

list and is designed to be a ‘starting point’ for you to develop your research

and curriculum.

EARLY YEARS & CHILD-LED

The early years range is used to describe children below the age of 6 (in the

UK), these packs are designed to assist children of this age to develop key

skills needed for the future. Naturally, there is a huge difference between a

child of 1 and a child of 5, therefore not all activities will be suitable for all

ages. Most of the resources in this pack are designed to be used by children

aged 2-5 however with adaptation older and younger children will enjoy

joining in the activities. Most of these activities lend themselves to being set

out in an ‘activity’ area or ‘play space’ to allow the child to choose what

activities to complete and when. Child-led learning is a valuable part of the

early years stage.
